Define “prove”

What is clear, lardass, is that the feds are going up the chain. Much like any organized crime investigation. The fact that you haven’t been indicted yet is just part of the ongoing case.

Quite the opposite, porky.

I’m not sure incompetence is a good defense. As Governor Christie should’ve set the tone for his subordinates to follow and they thought shutting down the George Washington Bridge was okay because “they were Buono voters.”

IF Christie didn’t order the closure in advance, it’s only because he didn’t have to. His staff knew what he wanted done. Nixon didn’t order the Watergate break-in… because he didn’t have to.
It’s also demonstrable that he lied when he said he knew nothing about it after the fact, even if he didn’t need to be told before hand.

Christie went on to note that not only had he never been to New Jersey and wasn’t entirely sure he could find it on a map

I might have said this before recently, but as a very young lad I was having dinner at a friend’s house during the Watergate saga and Nixon’s name came up, as you might have expected, and my friend’s mom said, “Yeah, right, the madam’s a virgin.”

Not even close, Christie. And even if it was true, Governor, what does it say that three of your closest advisors – IN YOUR OFFICE – were committing felonies under your nose, for your benefit, and you knew nothing about it? And how when the dangerous traffic jams were already happening, you did nothing, ordered nothing, to try to fix it – only to excuse it?
If nothing else (and there is lots more) it shows an astonishingly shitty ability to judge the character of your direct underlings.
Complicity (which I think is far, far more likely) or rank incompetence on the part of Gov. Christie. Either way, he stinks.

At least Christie is admitting that he is a completely incompetent manager who had no idea what the people closest to him were doing, thereby disqualifying himself for president.
It’s a start, and that’s good, because he will have a lot more negative things to admit about himself as this case unfolds.

Don’t speak too soon Mr Christie, this isn’t over quite yet.
One could read his comment differently. Charges make him seem like a badass. He wanted to be charged.

It is a very very bad day in Inner Wingnutia. Christie is toast and his vindictiveness and lying is now cemented as right-wing SOP. Cop-violence apologists (FOX etc) have been shown to be stupidly supporting the wrong side given the developments in Baltimore. And a GOPer in Texas has admitted that the the TX governor is idiot-pandering and that all the Texan conspiracy theorists (half the TX population?) are just that. Sad sad day for America’s treasonous right wing. I wouldn’t be surprised if it pushes a few of the armed and stupid crowd to act out with some random violence that they would of course blame on everyone but themselves. Poor, poor wingnuts.

Just because you tweet it doesn’t make it true. I’m sure at least one of if not both of your 2 loyal comrades indicted today will be offered a generous plea deal to testify that you had EVERYTHING to do with this whole thing.

Aside from the crime itself, he totally participated in the cover up. It’s on tape, hard to deny.

“You can’t prove I had anything to do with this! Therefore I am clean as a whistle”
“Elect me President and you can trust me to hire good, smart, law-abiding people to work for me.”
“When I’m President, I am REALLY gonna squeeze all the juice out of THAT orange!”
So the problem isn’t that you’re a liar, just that you’re incompetent and/or stupid? Got it.

Heck of an impressive display of prosecutorial competence today by Fishman. If there’s a case there to be made, it’s in the right hands.
